Lemmy is a failed Reddit alternative

I first joined Lemmy back during the big Reddit exodus of last year. I like many others wanted an alternative to Reddit, and I thought that this might've been the one. I made two accounts, one on lemmy.world and another on sh.itjust.works, in the June of last year that I used on and off for about 4 months....

Who cares? Lemmy is literally beta software and it isn't corporate growth driven social media. Also it doesn't have to replace anything. I use a lot of apps. I use both Lemmy and Reddit and always have. I have Instagram too, I also use both Twitter and Mastodon. I have Signal, Snapchat, Linkedin and Nextdoor.I like Lemmy, it is different than Reddit and that is fine. I like it better and have my own server.

George HW Bush was the head of the CIA, an organization that overthrows Democratic governments and then became president, then his son stole an election. That was the takeover moment, when the Gen Z kids were being born.

No way, it's made by animal testing and I don't trust anyone to actually use that instead of cheaper, subsidized cruelty that is normally served.

Also meat is really unhealthy and unnecessary. I've been vegan almost 10 years now and all my coworkers are suffering diseases from eating a shitty diet but people regularly think I'm 10 years younger than I am. My manager who is younger than me at 43 just had to get stents and had a heart attack. Long story short, I'm not looking to eat like you people ever again.

Keep telling yourself that, recipes run in families too. There is mountains of evidence showing that plant based diets are the healthiest and that saturated fat, where most of the calories in meat come from, is bad for you. The non vegans in my family look like everyone else, I seem to be a genetic marvel along with my wife. Everyone's genetics must have suddenly changed in the past 30 years that somehow turned 50% of people in only rich countries obese and not their shitty diet of increased meat and fat consumption.

I'm so fucking tired of people complaining about tankies, grow the fuck up this is like 20k people at most on beta software. Chill the fuck out. All the effort out into this post was a waste of your life.

Ironic because instead of just downvoting lemmy.ml posts you don't like you wrote this long winded unnecessarily life wasting post. Imagine being you and spending an hour collecting links for a point literally no one cares about. Touch grass.

This thread is such bullshit is bordering on slanderous on what happened to occupy Wall street. I was there at Zuccati park it is in a lack of focus it isn't a lack of initiative it wasn't a lack of people of color it was the fact that when the trades people came and when the teachers came the police came also with their clubs and they beat the shit out of everybody over the age of 30. My friend's dad who was a teacher in New York City for 40 years got beat so bad he died 3 years later from the injuries sustained. Once they establishment removed anybody with any sort of credibility from the organization the entire thing was mocked and made a joke on TV constantly and this exact phrase about lack of focus was repeated over and over by infiltrators until it became true. You want to know why occupy Wall Street went nowhere it is because the government killed it.

Bull shit, the biggest threat is the entire sum of Christian nationalists who are using trump as their pawn.

@hamid@lemmy.world avatar

You and everyone who downvoted is a total and complete idiot if you think a failson like Trump is your problem and not the organized 50 year planning of christian fascists in your country. I don't give a shit though, there is nothing stopping fascism from destroying the US and everyone it. Get fucked

Thanks tone police.

YSK there is a condition that makes your armpits smell worse called trichobacteriosis that is common and easy to treat

I was talking about hygiene with my partner who is a nurse and they were telling me that a lot of people remark that their armpits are smelling worse than normal and they are using more and more deodorant and people just think it is normal....

hamid OP ,
@hamid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I don't doubt it, its just superficial bacteria that can be sticky. I think some people have it worse than others and that like the 2 week thing is the sure fire nuclear option that will basically always work. I actually posted this because I'm pretty sure I had this too in my 20s when I was going to the gym all the time but I started shaving and keeping it that way around then and talking about it was like a memory unlocked moment.

hamid OP ,
@hamid@lemmy.world avatar

You actually do to get rid of this unless its mild and goes away with alcohol/antiseptic soap, it colonizes the follicle. I've shaved my armpits for like 20 years and never once had an ingrown hair as does like most women in the US

Use a sharp razor

hamid OP ,
@hamid@lemmy.world avatar

That is what my partner is a nurse said about the patients that have it. They either don't notice it or don't think its a problem. It isn't that gross, if you google it you can see pictures of it, looks like deodorant coated pithairs

The idea that it can be or should be a drop in reddit replacement for people who want to scroll an app while they take a shit. The most fun on Lemmy I have is with my community for vegan cooking that is self contained for the most part and something I couldn't ever get off the ground for years on reddit. I think each community should be essentially hosted on its own instance with other instances being for user accounts and identity that can access the community. The front page of my instance would just be my single on topic community.

I want to start by saying I am extremely thankful for Ruud and the team and think that you did an amazing job with lemmy.world and I wish you success in the future.

That said, I am a monthly 30 dollar donator to Lemmy and I am not interested in Sublinks. I read through the threads and my take is that I think the motivation for the development of it goes against my personal politics and mischaracterizes nutomic and dessalines. While I appreciate the nature of open source to open up avenues for people to act as they think is best, I do not want to leave the Lemmy.

Ahead of a migration to Sublinks I hope there comes a cleaner way to move communities off lemmy.world. If I had known how the Fediverse worked 11 months ago I would have self hosted an instance and shared my communities that way as to not be defederated from people I want to be federated with. Additionally I think that having a single huge lemmy instance is not great for the architecture of the fediverse as a whole and even if there were no changes planned or being considered. I think that many instances hosting communities is preferable to having large ones like lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.

Again I totally get that this is provided free and as is and as such you are free to make the decision you think is best. Even though I am a difficult person, I very much appreciate you, your team and what you are trying to accomplish. Thank you.

Because 10 months ago I chose to host c/veganhomecooks here. I do now use my own instance that I run out of Azure and plan to figure out a way to move my comm there but that is not easy to two click and move, I would lose all the subscribers and posts and it would not be cached on any other federated server. It is currently the largest and most active vegan focused community on the fediverse and do not want to leave it behind.

@hamid@lemmy.world avatar

Because I don't want to make a lateral move to another instance hosted by someone like you and would prefer to do it myself. I work full time and it took me a few months to figure out how to deploy and maintain my instance before I put it to production.

edit: English is not my first language, I didn't mean this to sound attacking. When I said someone like you I meant in general someone that I do not personally know and sometimes the way English speakers cloak language is not clear

Americans are all delusional and I can't wait for your idiotic election to be over so you can shut the fuck up about it as you lose all your rights and fuck up the rest of the world no matter who is the leader of the shit hole country. Death to America.

I am from Iran and I can never go back. I am a refugee of the Iran Iraq war. You definitely are my enemy and I will never be your friend or accept your friendship. I hate you and everything you represent. خانه‌ام را نابود کردی و اهمیتی نمی‌دهی.

@hamid@lemmy.world avatar

Fuck you. You ignorant mother fucker. I can't go back because my entire home town was erased from earth and when my parents brought me to the US, I am now not allowed to leave. I do not have a passport, I am only allowed to travel for work, and in order to get one I would have to pay a lot of money and swear allegiance to a place I hate living in then be definitely stuck here for the rest of my life where I will never be able to qualify for entry to another country or return to Iran when the conditions there improve. This doesn't absolve me of taxes of course, I was forced to pay for the destruction of my Iraqi brothers, I was forced to pay for the destruction of my Afghani brothers and all I can do here is watch from a golden prison while you stupid fucks say kind words with the forked tongue of a serpent.

Iran is that way because you made it that way. The US overthrew the democracy in Iran and installed a king who spent all the nations wealth on weapons that were never used and then rotted in the desert while people starved and were killed by SAVAK. When students overthrew the government the power vacuum led to Islamic fundamentalists, which the US created as their agents against "godless" soviets, came in and instituted those conditions. It is YOUR FAULT that LGTBTQ people are harassed, Its YOUR FAULT that woman are treated the way they are there. You insult Iran for something YOU did you ignorant fuck. This is why I hate you. This is why you are my enemy.

I accidentally engaged idiot lemmitors again, I have blocked most communities now. Time to blaze.

How do you guys feel about the Youtube channel Sauce Stache?

So I have recently gotten interested in home plant based meat substitutes like seitan and this guy pops up every time I look for recipe guides on Youtube and I have noticed a few red flags. As an example, he has like 20 different hamburger recipes that all use wildly different ingredients while claiming they are all better...

We as a community (this lemmy comm is for a discord server) are staunchly against all influencers, celebrity worship and businesses who would use veganism and animal rights to grow their businesses to support non vegans. Celebrity worship is toxic. This includes by extension plant-based meats by meat companies. Come into the discord server if you want to learn more about how these companies use marketing and horizontal segmentation and how it works to grow the consumption of animal products with vegan brands. We do not support any businesses here and use generic names as much as possible in our posts for this reason.

As a person who has worked for various non profits for a long time I don't support any non profits either. If you like this stuff or support it, that is fine and we are not telling other people what to do but this is a mutual aid community focused on vegan cooking and we exist outside the structures of corporate finance and don't like it. I don't like the term content creator and only critically watch any of that stuff.

Because to baradar-e Irani hasti, I will give you the benefit of the doubt

It is a place for home cooking vegan food, why would our opinions on exploitative Youtubers make it not? We literally never talk about this stuff except when someone asks. We are promoting vegan cooking and in no way force our beliefs on anyone. You literally asked us and got an answer that includes why we don't like him and might explain to you why its more focused on getting hard to get and sponsored commodity ingredients.

Do you know how hard it is to write Farsi with autocorrect on. I can't remember if I meant Farsi or Irani there
